Thanks so much for watching! In case you didn't know, I've been traveling in Japan the last couple days and here are some moments thus far. Stay tuned for more to come! I'll be in Japan for the next month.

Tokyo National Museum:
The Yayoi ceramics we saw at the Tokyo National Museum were interesting because they were made around the period that pottery wheels were being made and the kiln temperature was increased, which better preserved the red color.

The forged gilt bronze bowl was used by Buddhist monks for rituals. The bowl bottoms are rounded so the bowls were laid on rings to keep them upright. The fact that this bowl and its ring have stayed together unscathed is signifiant.

~~Others~~
Cat Cafe - Cafe MoCHA (Harujuku)
- nice location and view, but the cats won't come to you unless you buy one of the cat food options for 500 yen.

Cotton candy - Totti Candy Factory (Harajuku)
- I didn't eat it but my friends said it was good and the different flavors (grape, soda, melon, orange, strawberry) were good.

Bunny Cafe - Moff Rell (Akihabara)
- was really awesome. The price included some treats to give the bunnies.

2nd ramen place - Ichiran (Ueno)
- waited a really long time but it was really good.
